Preschoolers treated to salon day

SARASOTA, FL (WWSB)- Tech Tots preschoolers were treated to a salon day at the Cutting Edge, on the Suncoast Technical College campus.

Cosmetology students at the college got the chance to practice cutting hair on some smaller bodies, and the preschoolers got professional haircuts and manicures.

"It's really exciting for them to be able to get this experience," said Jenny Baird, from Tech Tots Preschool.

And it was mutually beneficial.

"They get the experience of developing a customer relationship with a child...and entertaining the child as the service is going," said Kellie Caroll, the cosmetology instructor at Suncoast Technical College.
